this --> "I believe that all programming, whether or not it's graphical or "artistic" in nature, is creative. "

  All programming? Hardly. In pretty much every ecosystem I've seen, there are standard patterns for doing things because they've been proven. Even just taking your own experience, you probably have patterns you use to solve problems. Sometimes you can apply these patterns in different ways and that's where "creativity" comes in, but a lot of the time, there's a "best" way to do something to maximize source comprehension, maintainability, performance, etc. There's often nothing creative about adding a jQuery plugin to a page, or setting up a table in a database, or adding a new route to an instance of an MVC framework.
